    Hey guys! I'm Alexandra Gater and I show you how to do rental-friendly upgrades and DIY projects on a budget. New videos every Saturday! Today I'm making over a kitchen with renter-friendly changes, cottagecore-style! Peel-and-stick backsplash, a coffee station hutch and a fresh coat of paint on the cabinets completely transform this space - I couldn't even believe it was the same room! Who new a rental kitchen could be this cozy?

      How do you navigate having people over for dinner now, before you had three chairs and a bench plus two bar stools for a total of 8(7?) people but in the new space only two of those beautiful chairs fit with the two bar stools for 4 people. Or do you have chairs in other rooms serving a dual purpose? Genuinely interested as someone who regularly entertains large groups.

    SO many great ideas, BUT we lost so much dining space. Where once there was space for5-6 at the original table, now we have space for 2. Ok, there are only two roommates, but even when the table is pulled out there's only space for four (and no dining chairs!). I LOVE everything else they did.

      I would have used a narrower hutch and put it perpendicular to the wall it's on now. Then there would have been room for a bigger table. I would also have used a bench against the wall, and the chairs on the island side.
      I would also have painted the hutch and cabinets a darker tone, like in her European inspiration photos.

    It's so lovely! But I am a bit sad that the cabinets and hutch are still almost white. That cornflower blue in the wallpaper would've been so much fun and they would've loved that! Not that this isn't super pretty too, it is, but that would've fit their inspo better I think and would've made that wallpaper really pop!

    The styling is always immaculate and the clever solutions (like how to install temporary backsplash over drywall) are always brilliant, but the color story here really didn’t work for me. The cold pale blues clashed with the renter’s beige walls so I feel like going warmer would have made more sense, especially after seeing the red wood baseboards, trim, and laminate countertops. Color is such a tough thing though, especially when you’re picking colors without being in the space first.

    Looooving that wallpaper! Your videos have been such a gift during these crazy past couple of years. Your videos inspired me to redo my outdated kitchen in a beautiful blush colour and I'm planning on tackling another room in the spring. Really looking forward to getting your book. Thank you for making beautiful things!

    This is inspiring. Since I’m only one person the smaller table makes more sense but it could be opened up to include others when necessary. Storage is going to be really important in my tiny home I’m building and I like the idea that she paid more attention to storage in the coffee bar and such than just the dining room and chairs taking up the most space. Very pretty.

    Oh gosh Alexandra, this makeover was so awesome, love that thrifted cabinet that you painted that beautiful color. I agree that the over head light for sure needed to be changed out and the one you picked is so beautiful. Love that you fixed the island so now it workds again. Oh my gosh your teamAg is so amazing and Graham is just the most amazing guy at all of the incredible things he can do and create. I love that you could do that backsplash it is so amazing and you would never guess that it is a peel and stick tile, I really want to be able to do that in my kitchen. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful makeover that I had so much fun watching and you always give me so many ideas and inspiration to get busy on my own older home. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend, sending love and many hugs, bye!! 😍😻🙏👍💜💜💜🪴❄✨

    I'm really enjoying this series, despite the fact that we aren't renting or having space issues and such, because I love taking notes of great ideas and seeing ingenious new products, and especially the happiness of the recipients after the makeovers. The changes are always beautiful and a huge improvement. It's fascinating to see what clever design can do to a home, and definitely not forgetting the amazing contributions of Graham.

    Love your videos, can’t wait to get your book. I really wish you would tackle a laundry room. I spend so much time in that room as a mom and it has to be multipurpose in my house because you enter from my garage into that room and it is just off the kitchen. It’s one of those spaces that can turn to chaos easily, but houseguests have access and see the space easily

    I love watching your make overs Alexandra. You've got a fantastic team, especially Graham. You definitely made a huge improvement to this kitchen although I found the wall paper a little too dark combined with the light furniture. Would have also chosen a lighter colour for the dresser backsplash. The black is a bit harsh. Loved the cabinets, table and chairs!

    Great job as always team AG!! Had a question for y’all, as a student who’s going to be renting for the first time next school year- do y’all have any ideas for ADHD friendly storage that still looks nice or neat? If things are out of sight, they basically don’t exist to my brain, so hiding things in cabinets is pretty difficult- especially if I need to use them often. I guess open storage works, but for me it tends to get really cluttered really quickly. Love y’all’s work and congrats on the book launch!! 💖

    • @sam_ben18
      @sam_ben18 Год назад +3

      One thing that's been helpful to me is getting seagrass or metal storage baskets/bins with more of an open-weave pattern, so they look cohesive and less cluttered but are still pretty see-through. Works well for closets and storage spaces with open shelving and they can be super affordable from places like Target or Homegoods :)
